error 2 reading header: cpio: Bad magic



Howdy Ya,

 

I just finished a long download of the RedHat 9 iso files from ftp.redhat.com and created my installation disk.  I also used the MD5 checksum after the download and they verified OK.  The problem I am encountering is that once the install starts I encounter the following error and the install craters:

 

error 2 reading header: cpio: Bad magic

 

The hardware is as follows:

 

Pentium III 550MHz

384 MB RAM

Intel i440BX chipset

Primary IDE controller - 20G IDE Hard Drive – No partitions defined

Secondary IDE controller - Toshiba CD-ROM drive

 

I have tried burning new CD/ROM disk at the slowest speed but incur the same exact error.

I have Mandrake 8.2 install CD/ROM that will install with no problem on this same machine.

I am at a lost as to what the issue might be and what to try next in an attempt to get this installed.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Danny
